I saw this link on a friend's facebook page. I completely agree with this teacher's assessment of kids these days. I'm not going to be a "mean" mom, but I do have high expectations of my child. Polite, respectful, a gentleman....I think other parents should have these expectations as well, but I don't think most do. Just look at the teens on tv these days. You don't have shows that show "good kids" anymore. With our parents there was The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family and we grew up with Full House and Saved by the Bell. Those shows had kids and teens that were faced with a moral dilemma but chose the "right" thing to do. What's on tv these days?? 90210, Secret Life of the American Teenager, Teen Mom. Shows that have teens doing drugs, cheating, lying, talking back to their parents, and having sex. And let's not forget the "roll models" out there.
I think this will be the hardest part of being a parent. Right now is the easy part. I'm worried about when he's older and has to deal with bullies and peer pressure to drink, do drugs, or have sex. Being a parent has definitely made me feel bad about any worry I ever put my parents through! He's not even 2 months and I'm already stressing about all of that!!!
Anyway.....Bradley has been staying up late but sleeping in late too. He still wakes up once or twice through the night to eat, but for the most part is sleeping through the night. I just need to figure out how to switch his schedule to get him to go to sleep earlier! He's been falling asleep around 12 or 1 AM and will wake up between 5 and 6 so we'll bring him in our bed and I'll feed him and just let him co-sleep with me for another few hours. He has been sleeping ALL day today though. I'm hoping he'll sleep tonight too.
